Dec 31 2008'Watchmen' Featurette: Hey, It's Moloch!

He doesn't look scared enough, nor is he sweating enough to match the original panels.

first boner!

no desire was curbed by watching that, but i did cry, like usual.

What is the name of the Muse song in this featurette?

@2 That's impressive. Maybe other female fans will enjoy this too. You might not want to watch this with your husband.

Is it just me, or does this all look a little bit silly?

@ Dave: The song is called "Take a Bow." It's the first track off of "Black Holes and Revelations."

I'll never forgive the absence of the squid, (we saw manhattans apathy beams tearing up a city there at the end) but that doesn't mean that I'm not incredibly excited about it.

To bojangles, yeah it's going to look silly if you're in your 20s, new people get born and don't realize the old standards, beliefs, and concerns were valid and affected real people. Part of me wants the old (80s) standards preserved in this movie, and part of me wants it to be relevant right now.

Why does Rorschach's mask transform like that?

"Because it looks cool" I guess, and that's exactly why this movie will suck.

@8 -- Rorschach's mask looks just like that in the novel too, no?

As it was said above, there's no way this movie will be able to live up to people's expectations - not mine, at least.

IT does look like that and does change patterns, but in the movie it looks as if the patterns fade into another constantly which is a little too techy for Watchmen imo.

rorschach's mask has like ink pounches in it doesnt it? like the dress from the dress shop he used to work in? its been a while since ive read it....but wow, all the actors look just like the characters they are portraying....

its going to be good, it looks it to me

I've read it VERY recently (Yesturday) and for @9 and @10 in the book it is constantly changing, that's the whole point,
And it's not just to "look cool," Rorschach has a whole speech about how it's intregual to his personality as it's a constantly changing entity which he found beautiful (unlike the lady who ordered the dress who called it ugly) and so he made it his face to have a change from the one he hated, his own.
And @11 the material was some technology which came from something Dr.Manhattan developed and was originally made into a dress which would constantly change, kinda like a lava lamp.

I lol every time I see Snyder listed as a "visionary."

How does this not look completely amazing to any Watchmen fan as well as at least pretty fuckin intriguing to anyone else? Visually its ridiculous and that alone makes me eager to see it.

The only thing possibly keeping this movie from stealing my favorite movie's position would be how true they stay to the original story. I can understand some changes, but the messages and feelings conveyed require the exact story be told. I hope they don't shit out another hollywood fuck up.

Zach. If you are reading, or this post can get to you somehow.

The guy playing Rorschach isn't a good enough actor. Recast and get someone better. Do it now !.

There is only one chance to turn the best novel into a film. Don't fuck it up.

Despite all the typical "This is da bom, you haterz sux, you haterz you" crap, I notice that there's a degree of reservation about this in the more lucid comments. As for myself, I don't feel it's unfilmable, but I *do* feel that it should not be filmed. The comic is a celebration of the comic format itself, and it doesn't make sense to transform that celebration to a film any more than it makes sense to turn the song "Jingle Bells" in to a 3-hour action/adventure epic staring Tom Cruise. Yes, it can be done, but it's betraying the fundamental POINT of the original to do so. This is, as I understand it, the reservation of one of the original authors, and I agree with him. Also, changing the ending is a bad move.

That said, (A) I will go see it if/when it's released and (B) it's got to be better than that terrible, terrible Sam Hamm script that was floating around for a while. [shudder]

#15, if you think the guy playing Rorschach isn't a good actor, then you need to watch you some motherfucking Little Children.

Yes, I realize I could have phrased that better.

It looks good visually, but I think its time Zack Synder admits he doesn't know what to do with actors.

Little Children (movie, you dumbasses) was pretty good. Kate Winslet tittage (although they've gone way downhill from Titanic..) and the acting was superb. Plus! There's two actors from Watchmen in it. The guy who's playing Night Owl is the guy who cheats with Kate Winslet on her hubby. And the Rorschack guy is a pervert, lawl.

I read it a while ago and didn't remember the dress was made from something Dr. Manhattan created. The effect makes sense then I guess.

Ozymandias' costume looks way too much like something from Batman Forever though. Why not follow the original material? I don't get it.

whats the song thats playig at 1:33?

Regardless of all of your guy's bitching and complaining and Snyder-slamming, nothing changes the fact that all of you will be going to see this movie.

So shut the fuck up.

WHY RORSARCH'S MASK CHANGES:
in his past he worked in a dress shop, and one of the dresses was made of that material. it's ink between two layers of sealed latex, and so while the dress moves the ink shifts around but doesnt mix with the white.

@ Sean Bateman: Ah yes. You woke up this morning deciding to make that trenchant point, did you? Well done! I can tell from your vocabulary that you're a super-big boy of 7 or 8 years old! But the grown-ups are talking here, ok, so go back being quietly overweight while we talk about grown up stuff, and we promise we'll play Guitar Hero with you later on, OK?

Heh heh. Kids. You can teach 'em to type, but you can't teach 'em to think.

#25. You just wrote exactly what I was going to write, you cunt.

Now I can't think of anything useful to say.

Didn't he get nominated for an award for Little Children or something? I suppose I should go look.

@ Sean Bateman:

I wasn't being ironic, I was being openly insulting. If you knew what Irony was, you'd have understood that.

My point was that you say we're all hypocrites because we're going to see the movie. Clearly we're all interested in the subject, and we want it to be good, but just as clearly there's much about it to concern us - better not to make the movie at all than to make it badly. Your illiterate "Haters suk" comments are immature and don't help anyone. You're talking like a child, you can't get pissy if we treat you like one.

Just wanted to point out that Rorschach cut the material for his mask using his bone claws... which he had as a child.

Oh, totally. He did it while watching the MacKenzie Brothers on TV, which he could totally do because he's Canadian.

LAST!

"He doesn't look scared enough, nor is he sweating enough to match the original panels."

This comment is scary, unless I'm missing the irony. If you're going in there thinking "Wait-Snyder didn't use the same carpet color in that scene..." then don't go see it. Good hell. Not every frame of the movie will match the book.

p.s. He's at his refirgerator and he hasn't seen Rorschach behind him yet (look closer). His expression is "Where did I put that Miracle Whip?..."
